I must say you guys are absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you very kindly for the offers to help, but I could never accept such a gracious gesture. I have a meeting with Mr. Chadick at 2pm on Sunday to see what I am looking at as far as the restoration goes. We'll see and I will give you an update as the price he gives on the restoration.

Darn good movie should of had a Parker in the line up. ch oh thoes silly pointers are great family dogs also sept for thoes little white hairs:eek:

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing these.

I must say this post has set a record for the 2nd most pages ever issued, nudged out only by the Dead Sea Scroll! Jerry

Is that good or bad?

This has been a very good thread. Thanks all who posted.

That's a good thing Dee, it only shows the integrity of this board and the members. Anyone posting such a fantastic gun here would get good sound advice as guns like yours are cherished by all. The fact that it's a family gun is truly special. Keep writing, we enjoy the posts! No one here cares whether or not you know anything about double guns, it's the common link of Parker guns or any old guns that bonds many of us. I know I for one would really like to see what happens with this gun. Please keep us posted, Jerry

I'm very grateful to all of you. Every single one of you have given me some great advice. I appreciate all of the information and advice through here, where otherwise with me being ignorant to what I had and I could have possibly been taken advantage of by someone. Y'all have educated me enough to know what to do and not to do and I'm thankful and blessed to have stumbled across this site and have everyone accept me and teach me about this old Parker. Thank you cannot begin to scratch the surface for you guys. My hats off to you...please take a bow......:bowdown:
